Your clients went to their doctors.
Their doctors sent them home.
Now they're standing in front of you.
Desperate. Angry at a system that dismissed them. Or quietly resigned — because they've been told for years that this is just what having a baby looks like now.
One in three births is a surgical birth. Not one of those women receives a rehabilitation protocol.
That's not a gap. That's a crisis — and you are now their best chance at real recovery.
The C-Birth Method is a done-for-you framework for rehabilitating the orthopedic injury of surgical childbirth — built from over 20 years of clinical practice, designed so you can implement it immediately, without overhauling everything you already do.
C-School is where you learn it.
Introducing the C-Birth Method
How to go from here...
...to here
The C-Birth Method applies to ALL aspects of Cesarean Birth Recovery including:
Diastasis Recti Rehabilitation — Scar Massage and Fascial Mobilization — Core Retraining — Return to Sport After C-Section — Pelvic Floor Dysfunction After C-Section
“C-School” Was Built for You — Whether or Not Manual Therapy is in your Scope of Practice.
Calling all Fitness Professionals.
Calling all Manual Therapy Professionals.
Personal trainers. Pilates and yoga instructors. F45 and HYROX coaches. Group fitness pro’s.
Athletic Therapists. Registered Massage Therapists. Pelvic Health & Sport Physiotherapists. Nurses, doulas, midwives.
3 Levels of C-School
Professional Cesarean Birth Education
Using a proven Methodology simplifies your practice, gives you useable tools immediately, and gets your clients results faster.
Level 1: Build Your Base
Core Retraining, using the C-Birth Method
Before you can rehabilitate a C-section, you need to understand how the postpartum body moves — and why it stops moving well after major abdominal surgery. Level 1 builds the clinical foundation that makes everything in Level 2 work.
1: ABC’s = “Alignment, Breathing, Core Control”
You wouldn’t build a Dream Home without a solid foundation, the same way you wouldn’t build a Dream Body without a solid MOVEMENT foundation. The ABC’s is the solid foundation. It's where all begins, whether your client is 1 day or 10 years postpartum.
2: DRA6 = “Diastasis Recti Abdominis 6”
Let's keep it simple: there are only 6 diastasis exercises all mamas need to be able to do - with proper ABC's. Build your confidence in helping mamas return to "scary" and "taboo" exercises like planking and sitting up.
3: 7PM’s = “7 Primal Movements”
All human bodies were designed to do 7 movements only; all other movements are merely a combination of these. Teach these Primal Movements with proper ABC’s - and your clients’ risk of injury when returning to ANY postpartum activity will be greatly reduced.
Level 2: Build your Expertise
Level 2 is where the Cesarean-specific clinical content lives, and is the missing material in professional postpartum education. With Level 2, learn all necessary scar massages and corrective exercises. Then - as with any other post-surgical orthopedic protocol — teach your client to do their own Scar Massage daily in a Home Exercise Program.
Cesarean Birth Rehabilitation
At C-School, we believe that it is every woman’s RIGHT, not PRIVILEGE, to have a full Cesarean recovery.
5: Cesarean-Specific Exercises
The right exercises are needed to maintain the changes made by scar massage; otherwise tissues can revert back to pre-massage state.
6: Bonus Material
You can’t know EVERYTHING about C-birth rehab. That’s why additional bonus learning material & resources will be added regularly to help you build your knowledge AND business long after you’ve taken the course.
Add to your client’s Diastasis Recti exercises with the necessary C-birth exercises that will help her repattern all body movements. This will greatly reduce risk of injury when returning to any activity, sport or competition.
Follow the C-School methodology to take out the guesswork and avoid missing key rehab exercises.
Materials include lead magnets to attract your ideal client; recordings of C-birth workshops for clients; discount codes; guest speakers; and more.
Level 2 helps allied healthcare professionals fill the gap in public perinatal healthcare
Be a changemaker in women’s health.
Out of pain and fear, most women do nothing to recover in the first 6 weeks postpartum. But with just a few simple rehab strategies, their recoveries will be better & faster.
4: Scar Massage
You don’t need to be a manual therapist to help your client make massive improvements in her scar pain, mobility & appearance.
Get the done-for-you Flow Chart / Methodology and teach HER how to start and progress every scar massage technique she’ll need throughout her C-birth recovery.
Cesarean Scar Massage is necessary to reduce pain, improve appearance & enable optimal motor repatterning.
Research reveals a list of problems that tight scar tissue and fascial adhesions can cause, including:
Abdominal pain
Puckered scars, or “C-section Shelf”
Back/Hip pain via poor core control
Digestive issues
Fertility issues
Pelvic floor conditions including painful sex and incontinence
Bladder issues
C-school Level 2 is made up of the following 6 parts:
1: The Psychology of Healing
Just because you’re not a mental health professional, doesn’t mean you don’t need mental health tools to support this unique population.
Recovery from any major sports injury begins with mindset. This applies even more so to C-birth as most women:
2: Cesarean Birth Preparation
YOU know that the best recoveries happen BEFORE injury occurs.
- Don’t expect one
- Are struggling with sleep deprivation
- Are overwhelmed with inadequate support
Learn simple & effective mental health exercises that will help your athlete get over the fear of touching & looking at her scar, and embracing her body again. Learn when to refer.
But your client doesn’t know that.
Build your client’s trust by helping them prepare physically, mentally, and set up their homes before C-birth.
Be the go-to person to decrease their overwhelm and fear going into surgery.
3: Cesarean Recovery 0-6 Weeks
Learn these simple strategies and empower your client to trust her body again.
Level 3: Build Your Mastery
Level 3 is a live mentorship program led by Janette. Meeting twice monthly virtually, Level 3 is where clinical learning becomes mastery — through real case studies, peer discussion, business development, and ongoing curriculum updates.
Level 3 Mentorship is available only to those enrolled in C-School Levels 1 + 2.

This Is Not Your Typical Continuing Education Program.
I built C-School specifically to solve that problem.
You know the feeling. You take a three-day course. You walk out with 24 hours of brand new information, an enormous manual, and a system that would require a complete overhaul of everything you currently do.
I mean... that is how clinical skills actually get embedded. Not in a weekend. Over weeks, with repetition.
Watch One Technique
Log in. Watch one exercise or scar massage technique. That's it. Close the laptop.
Implement It This Week
Use it with every relevant client you see this week. Practice it. Own it. Let it become second nature.
Come Back When You're Ready
Log back in. Watch the next technique. Repeat. At your pace, in your practice, without disrupting everything you already do well.

That said — if you are brand new to postpartum rehabilitation and want a complete system from day one, watch the entire program in sequence and implement the C-Birth Method as your full protocol immediately. It works both ways.
You get home. Monday arrives. You implement nothing.

If you are looking for an easy to follow and complete program that focuses on postpartum C-birth rehab, this is it! Janette covers everything from 0-6 weeks all the way to 6 months and beyond and includes breathing, exercises, and self-massage techniques. Above and beyond, Janette is so supportive and empowering and focuses on the business side of things as well!
Charity Smith,
Registered Massage Therapist
I have loved the program. A lot of good knowledge here. I have started to integrate bits and pieces with my clients — and I do believe different scars need different things, so I have liked learning about this approach.

Bonus part of the Mentorship I wasn’t expecting - learning tons of sales and marketing stuff, and how it’s same/different around the world.
Melissa,
Massage Therapist, Alberta, Canada
Pulling the ‘Primal Movements’ from the Strength and Conditioning world - a world I’m not a part of - that was cool to learn and apply to my practice.
Imagine being part of the movement that changes global perinatal health care.

I Had to Build This Because Nothing Else Existed.
A close friend of mine — Diane, a national-level sprinter — had an emergency C-section early in my career. She called me afterwards: "Janette, how do I heal from this?" I had nothing. I told her to follow her surgeon's orders. At six weeks she was cleared — without a single question about her athletic background. That same day she went for what she thought would be an easy 5km run. Two kilometers in, she re-injured her incision on the side of the road.
I was furious. And then I realized — this wasn’t a single doctor’s failure. It was a failure of global health care systems.
Women were walking away from major abdominal surgery with fully preventable complications — scar tissue bound so tight they couldn’t stand straight, core weakness that lasted years, a C-section shelf they'd been told would never improve, painful intercourse dismissed as "just part of it now." An athlete would never say "I hate my knee" after knee surgery. But my C-section clients say "I hate my belly, I can't even touch it" all the time. That is not a body image problem. That is a medical system gap.
I cannot change a broken healthcare system alone. But I can change the game.
To reach the millions of women who deserve better, I had to reach the people who work with them every single day — you. The personal trainers, the manual therapists, allied health professionals, the fitness instructors and coaches. You are already in the room. You already have their trust. And together, we are not going to wait for the system to catch up. We are going to be the change. Right now. 💜

Frequently Asked Questions
C-School is a professional online continuing education program built around the C-Birth Method — Janette's proprietary framework for C-section rehabilitation developed over 20+ years of clinical practice. CEUs (continuing education credits) are currently pending for C-School. We will update enrolled students as soon as this is confirmed. In the meantime, the clinical value of this program is immediate and implementable — you will be using these techniques with your clients this week.
01. Is C-School a certified C-section recovery course for professionals?
No — and this is one of the most important things to understand about C-School. The C-section scar massage training component is designed so that fitness professionals who do not provide hands-on manual therapy can still teach their clients to perform scar massage techniques on themselves. I ran this exact protocol with clients virtually throughout the pandemic with significant results. If you are a manual therapist, you will gain a complete clinical framework for scar mobilization techniques after Cesarean birth. If you are a fitness professional, you will have the client education tools to bridge the gap.
02. Do I need manual therapy experience to take this C-section scar massage training?
Absolutely — and you may be the most important professional on this list. One in three of your postpartum clients has had a C-section. Many are returning to fitness with unaddressed scar adhesions, core weakness after C-section, and diastasis recti that was surgically cut during delivery. Some are not returning to fitness at all because they are ashamed of their bodies. You are often the first professional they trust enough to ask for help. C-School gives you the knowledge, the language, and the client resources to meet them exactly where they are — without stepping outside your scope of practice.
03. I'm a personal trainer — is C-section rehabilitation training relevant to my clients?
Yes — and specifically, diastasis recti after C-section, which is clinically distinct from diastasis recti after vaginal birth. During a Cesarean, the linea alba is surgically cut and not stitched back together. This means your C-section client's DRA is not the same presentation as your vaginal birth client's DRA, and the rehabilitation approach must reflect that difference. Level 1 of C-School is dedicated to this foundation. The diastasis recti component includes workshops, exercises, and progressions that address this surgical distinction specifically.
04. Does this postpartum rehabilitation course cover diastasis recti?
Yes. How to treat C-section scar adhesions is covered in depth in Level 2. The C-section shelf, which is caused by fascial adhesion pulling the skin down at the scar site, responds directly to scar mobilization and progressive core rehabilitation after Cesarean birth. You will understand exactly what is happening anatomically, why it forms, and how to address it with your clients in a way that is safe, evidence-informed, and within your scope of practice.
05. Will I learn how to treat C-section scar adhesions and the C-section shelf?
Yes. Return to sport after C-section is one of the most undertrained areas in both fitness and healthcare professional education. The 7 Primal Movements component of Level 1 and the Cesarean-specific exercise progressions in Level 2 together form a complete return-to-sport framework — from the immediate post-surgical period through high-load, high-impact activity. Whether your client wants to return to running, weightlifting, HYROX, or sport at any level of competition, C-School gives you the progressive roadmap and the clinical reasoning behind every stage
06. Does C-School teach return to sport after C-section protocols?
Pelvic floor dysfunction after C-section is addressed as part of the broader clinical picture — specifically the fascial connection between the C-section scar and the pelvic floor, which is a key driver of symptoms including painful intercourse after C-section, urinary urgency, and pelvic pressure. C-School is not a pelvic floor physiotherapy course and does not replace pelvic floor assessment and treatment within that scope. What it provides is the framework for understanding how C-section scar tissue, core dysfunction, and pelvic floor dysfunction interact — and how your rehabilitation work addresses all three as a system.
07. Is pelvic floor dysfunction after C-section covered in this program?
This is the question that I am headstrong about changing! C-section rehabilitation as a surgical recovery protocol is not taught in any type of school that I am aware of to date. Not in medical school, any physical therapy schools, not in personal training certifications — because the medical standard of care after Cesarean birth has historically been "rest for 6 weeks and return to normal." There is no postpartum rehabilitation gap in professional training by accident. It mirrors the gap that exists in the healthcare system itself. C-School exists to close that gap — for you, and for every postpartum client you will ever work with.
08. Why isn't C-section recovery taught in professional education programs?
